Wasn’t this in one of the newer Bond films? /s

Even still, there’s dust, wind, transport, upkeep..blah, blah blah

Yep, prob. never see the light of day outside a small tester setup that fails miserably.

The real deal doesn’t occur until they get an invention that cuts the cost of electricity from 1/4-1/10th the cost of current lowest cost coal. This stuff is beautiful but not the real deal.

Well, time to drag this old picture out:

I came up with this in the '90s.

[LibWhacker]

Wow, you came up with that idea? Pretty good! I’m no engineer, but it looks promising to me. Have you built a prototype and been able to get it to work?

[RandallFlagg]

Yeah. I thought that up just as a thought experiment back then. Never tried anything with it as I became a Father that year, and that took priority.
